Indeed, that bastard should be in gaol.. not lecturing the North. And the Chief Bastard who declared that the matter of his corrupt favouritism towards a bent pornographer/property speculator 'Is now closed' should be there with him.

I just hope all those who voted for this shower of crooks and incompetents might finally learn. NEVER TRUST A TORY!!!

I think it’s wrong to present it as a north/south issue, because probably most regions will have a taste of Tier 3 soon. In my opinion it’s more that Westminster has reached the conclusion that they can no longer economically justify 80% furlough, even though 67% will mean some business will go belly up, and some individuals will lose their jobs, and become significantly poorer. I think to present it as an act of delevelling the north, as Burnham has tried to do, is disingenuous. It’s an act, arguably unavoidable, of making the poor poorer, whatever region they’re from.

If Burnham and co (including Starmer who is watching from the sidelines) are in anyway serious, then they'd be organising strike ballots among the TUs now...

The threatened industries don’t have strong unions as far as I know - if you’re on a zero hours contract you can’t go on strike. If Burnham asked, for example, the teachers or nurses or civil servants to strike to support barmen and bouncers and entertainers, I don’t know what the response would be.

An organised fight across the Labour movement right now would have the Tories cacking their pants that's for sure.

It would be illegal
 
It IS a North South Issue. Because they lured Northerners to vote for them on the promise of levelling up. And they also managed to find £12Bn to fund a failed track and trace system via their friends, and stood by inactive while one of their number, Jenryk faciitated the theft of public money by Desmond to the tune of at least £45 million.

Looking for logic, fairness or morality in any of the actions of these bastards is a fool's errand.
 
It would be illegal for teachers, nurses or civil servants to strike to support barmen, bouncers and entertainers.

One thing that annoys me is this constant north south divide. I understand completely why the dislike the south as I think they get a raw deal. I live in the south east and dislike the ruling elected. They seem to be biased towards London more than anywhere. I don't know what other countries are like, but we don't just have so many from the same school, they were in the same class. Like the latest train line starts from London. I think if it's that good start in the North East and North West and come down to the Midlands.

I'm from London but have lived much of my life round Manchester. I totally get why many Mancunians haven't a good word to say about London and the south east... they are shafted over and over.

Yet when anyone points this out some London luminary starts whining about how much London gives to the UK without seeing the reasons why and how some people have it really hard in London with high property prices and small homes ... blah blah blah!
 
Johnson offered Manchester £22m to pay for the economic ruin of shutting them down. His bent housing minister Robert Jenrick intervened to save party donor Porno Desmond £45m, deliberately preventing it from going to the cash strapped London borough hosting his property development.
 
It is just the same old same old. The ridiculous thing is it won’t make any difference at all. I know the pubs will just get a stash of frozen lasagna in, they’ll sell it cheap so they can stay open. They need the money. In all honesty the restrictions are hardly more restrictive than they have been for the last three? months. They worked well didn’t they?

All it means is I still won’t do any more than wave at my parents and have a quick conversation from the edge of the garden.

It’s all tokenistic and half-hearted and seems designed to piss us off so that we all say **** it I’ll do what I want. This is crash testing as far as I can see and the North is being used as a crash test dummy. Yes I can see that areas of the country will be mighty peeved if their numbers are low, but so were ours in August. We were concerned when it went over 40. It’s over 500 now. Shutting the pubs and play centres isn’t going to effect any gross change, it’s tinkering round the edges. Doing the deckchairs on the Titanic. The areas with low numbers should be grateful to join in as it’ll stop them becoming the new North.

I can only see regular short full lockdowns keeping it in check. I seem to remember that being a pattern suggested months ago by Whitty. Short sharp shocks to get the numbers down.
